I only ask in here because its related to the kernel. R9 says you are using R4 of the kernel. Well I'm on R3, but wasn't sure if its recommended I switch to your latest Galaxy build to get the latest kernel.

@007Shinobi: What if I already have one of 1.6 ROM's ( BH's Stock 1.6 ), and I just want to upgrade the radio ( I'm presuming that'll help my reception and 3G, etc. ) ? Do I have to flash back...and then flash forward ( No pun intended to those who were following that TV show here in the US ) ?

Hmmm.. to be honest I am not sure what your asking lol. But, the radio should be upgraded by the one package because it is all the stuff (such as kernel) into 1. However, I don't think it'll guarrantee better reception. Also, I am uncertain if the upgraded radio will be retained if you do a flash back. But to clarify, do you mean flash back as in from the BH's Stock 1.6 to ota 1.6 and flash forward to BH's Stock 1.6? Or, ota 1.6 to BH's Stock 1.6 to ota 1.6?

Edit: actually, now that I think about it, if you want to revert to BH's Stock 1.6 the radio or baseband should be retained since your just flashing the kernel. Unless, the baseband is part of the kernel which I believe it is not and is separate

Kernel: 2.6.29 root@sep-51 #1 Build Number: DONUT BH_MAN No Twiz ( even though it has TWiz )Baseband Version : T939UVIJ6

It's the Baseband version I want to upgrade to the latest. Or at least to the most stable, considering reports that this latest OTA w/1.6 has given people reception issues.

So. The root of my question is...Can I update this baseband version WITHOUT updating anything else ? And if so, what's the easiest way to do so.

Can I just run Odin and point it at that UVIJ3 file as pointed at in another thread, without specifying the other parts of the unit to update ( i.e. just specify the file to draw the radio firmware from ) ? Or do I have to update all three parts at once and in unison ?

That's what I'm looking to do....

Of course my reason for doing so is a quest to see if any of the newer basebands will give me better reception than I'm getting now. I hope this makes my intention clearer. Thanks again for even replying, shinobi, no one else did.

Don't know if this wil help but here is what I have:
Currently runnng BH_Man's Take5 Rom.

This is how I got basically got there:
Had tried several different roms ie: galaxy 1.6, warheads, etc..
settled on TAKE5. From there I installed the 1.6 OTA update and also tried microhaxo's tweaked OTA 1.6. From there I decided I wanted root and apps2sd so I flashed back to Take5 and now I have the newer baseband.

You could try this but I can't say that it will help your radio issues.
